Sleigh bed & copper bathtub added to total relaxation!

I loved having a room with a sleigh bed & copper bathtub. It was all very tastefully decorated. The staff were lovely as usual. I went to see the exhibitions at Firstsite right opposite & saw 2 artworks on display done by someone I knew years ago, which was a nice surprise-GreyFriars is so handy for lots of Colchester’s attractions.

Can’t think of anything. They do everything so well there!

Welcoming and comfortable. Highly reccomended.

Location ideal in centre of town, next door to the Colchester Castle. Very high standard of service and food.

Combining the great feel of a historic building with all modern facilities.

Very nice hotel, excellent food both in the restaurant and in the bar.

The sausage on the breakfast not to my taste they had a smokey flavour. But this is a personal thing my husband loved them. The emergency light in the room was so bright again a personal thing.

I really like this fine hotel.

It’s fine as always

Carpets in the room grubby, shower head gummed up with limescale, torn curtain in 16. Otherwise fine.

Superb

The air conditioning in the room was excellent. The staff at breakfast were exemplary, couldn’t fault anything. They greeted us as we entered the room, explained the process for ordering and nothing was too much trouble. We had a few different choices of breakfast & all were well presented and delicious so well done also to the kitchen staff. The room was spotlessly clean. There was ample car parking.

The reception staff could have been more welcoming. The view from the room wasn’t good - an internal courtyard containing what looked the a boiler room. The second room had no view as there was film over the window. The lack of an occasional chair in the room..

Great place as a base for exploring the attractions nearby.

Great breakfast , great staff. Secure parking in in a city centre is always welcome. Found the free bar in the room a bonus, ideal when you just wanted a quick drink.

An enjoyable stay

The hotel was easy to find and the staff were all helpful. The breakfast was delicious with a wide selection available. Great location for visiting the castle.

The room was very small. The room (10), was also noisy, we heard a door opening and closing frequently. We also had noise from guests outside.

Location is perfect, staff excellent. Food was good and the building is lovely.

The room was slightly smaller than I had hoped and I would have loved a bath.

Fantastic hotel in a great location with splendid food!

All of the food was wonderful at the hotel, the reception staff were extremely helpful and accommodating.

The heating/air conditioning system was very slow to kick in so our room got very hot which made it impossible to get a restful sleep. The bed was a little firm.

Absolutely amazing, would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back!

Absolutely beautiful hotel from the minute you drove into the car park! Very kind host behind reception guest, asking us about today and in general very helpful and kind. Room was absolutely spotless! Lots of free goodies in the room. Tea and coffee facilities, fresh milk in the fridge to! Soft drinks, bottled water and beer (alcoholic and non alcoholic) in the fridge at no extra cost. Option to have room service for breakfast which we chose as was only an extra £5. Breakfast was lush! We had the pancakes which were the best I’ve had and the full English which to my partners delight came with bubble and squeak! Location was ideal for Colchester town! Short walk to the town centre and the castle also! Though the town is quite busy and lively you can’t hear this from the hotel! Check out was straight forward and easy. Can’t wait to stay back already

Nothing!! No room for improvement anywhere. Everything we needed and then some.
